The Chaste Wife

Liu Su transmigrates into the body of a widow, one whose betrothed died before they could marry. She decides to accept her lot and make the best of things, only to discover, to her utter despair, that she is pregnant. In this feudal age, where propriety is held above all else, this is a heinous crime!

Liu Su gazes up at the gleaming chastity arches outside the Tang family home. All she can think about is how to escape being drowned in a pond. But gradually, she realizes she may have worried too much. Heaven knows what exactly is growing in her belly, but it is making her more and more fierce by the day. Still, why has a supernatural plot suddenly appeared in the middle of a domestic-strife-and-farming story? This tone just feels all wrong!
